To my family, the survivors of Bobby:

DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE HAVE BEEN FACED WITH

SINCE DECEMBER THIRD

THERE ARE MANY THINGS LEFT UNSAID TO EACH OTHER,

PERHAPS A STORY EVEN JUST ONE SINGLE WORD

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GROW CLOSER TOGETHER ,

IS SUPPORT FOR ONE ANOTHER WHEN SOMEONE IS UNDER THE WEATHER

BOBBY WAS THE GO-TO THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD

FOR THIS WE ARE ALL GRATEFUL THAT SUCH A SON AND BROTHER

WE ALL HAVE, AND IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE HAD

UNSPOKEN WORDS TO EACH OTHER WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE WASTE

ON EVEN THE MOST BUSIEST DAYS, FILLED WITH INCREDIBLE HASTE

WE ARE THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER; WE NEED TO BE THERE MORE

TO COMFORT AND UNDERSTAND, AND THIS IS FOR SURE

THE ONLY WAY WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER WITH EACH PASSING DAY

IS TO WRITE A LITTLE SOMETHING, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY

WHETHER IT IS A FEELING YOU HAVE, BEEN HOLDING IN, OR A THOUGHT

FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT; CAUSE UNITED WILL WILL WIN

FOR THREE YEARS TOGETHER WE HAVE FELT PAIN WITHIN OUR HEART

BUT AN ACT WE PUT ON, TO PROTECT, THE TEARS THAT MAY START

WELL, AT THIS POINT IN OUR LIVES, WE NEED OUR CREW

TO STICK TOGETHER WITH HONESTY, THIS MUCH IS SO TRUE

THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE IS THROUGH WRITING

TO HOLD THE PAIN IN, IT IS OURSELVES WE ALONE ARE FIGHTING

WE ALL HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS, SMILES AND FROWNS

BUT WE CAN’T CONTINUE TO PUT ON A SHOW, LIKE CLOWNS

EACH ONE OF US HAS A DIFFERENT PROCESS OF GRIEF THAT WE

HAVE HELD IN, THE WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN BUT ON OUR FACES

WE CAN PLAINLY SEE

PURE AND UTTER PAIN OR EVEN MOMENTS OF DELIGHT

LET’S GET TOGETHER, TO HELP SHED THE LIGHT

BOBBY DOES NOT WANT ONE ANOTHER MISUNDERSTOOD

AND FOR HIM WE CAN TRY IT, ALL OF US COULD

NOW IT MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL TO WRITE EVERY SINGLE DAY

THE WORDS THAT MUST BE SAID, THE WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN

BUT, REGRETS THERE ARE MANY BY ALL OF US SOMEHOW.

LET’S FIND A WAY TO HELP EACH OTHER CAUSE WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN

WOULD LEAD TO ONLY OUR HEARTS BROKEN, SO LET’S START NOW

LET’S LAUGH WHEN WE CAN WITH MEMORIES, JOKES AND, EVEN

HURT AND PAINFUL DIFFICULT CRIES

BUT LET’S ALL BE REAL TO AS A UNIT, IT IS THE ONLY WAY

AND EACH NIGHT WE’LL LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT EACH

OTHER MAY SAY

IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE OR TWO, TO WRITE A WORD, OR EVEN A FEW

SO WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE

WE’LL KNOW WHAT WE WENT THROUGH WHETHER IT BE TEARS, LAUGHS

OR RAGE; IT IS OKAY OUR HEARTS BROKEN, WE ARE ALL VERY MUCH

UPSET

LET’S TAKE WHAT WE KNOW FROM OUR ANGEL, BROTHER AND SON

LET’S BUILD MORE COMMUNICATION, THE ONLY WAY TO BECOME ONE

BECAUSE LIFE GOES LIKE THE BLINK OF AN EYE,

SINCERITY AND REAL; OUR ANGEL OUR SON OUR BROTHER

PEACEFUL IN THE SKY

ONE THING THAT IS FOR SURE THAT WE ALL KNOW IS HE WANTS US TO

LIVE AND CONTINUE OUR GROWTH THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME

OKAY …… ;) THIS IS THE END OF A HEARTFELT RHYME

TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE, NO MISUNDERSTOOD MOODS AND WORDS

THAT MAY BE SAID

LET’S SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND PUT OUR MINDS AT EASE WHEN

WE LAY ASLEEP IN BED; OUR LOVE IS IMMENSE, LET’S ALL UNITE

AND BE REAL AND DEAL, BECAUSE THE POEM WILL END WITH THE
